Bob's Chocolate Protein Bars

Ingredients:

1 cup Old Fashioned oatmeal
1/2 cup shelled walnuts
1/2 cup shelled almonds
1 cup Chocolate whey protein powder
3 tablespoons hershey's dark chocolate powder
1/4 cup honey
7 oz. or 1 cup coconut oil(or combination of oils)

10 pieces of aluminum foil sized 1/2 roll X 6" Freezer or ice pack, blender, bowl, heavy spatula, strainer

Blend oatmeal to powder and put in large mixing bowl.

Blend shelled walnuts and almonds to powder and put in bowl.

Add chocolate whey protein powder and hershey's dark chocolate powder to bowl and mix ingredients thoroughly. Strain and/or re-blend if need be.

Add coconut oil and mix in thoroughly with heavy spatula. Form a pattie one inch thick with grooves 1/2 inch apart 1/2 inch deep on top. Pour honey evenly over surface and mix in well.

Form milky way size and shape blobs of the muck with spatula and knife or spoon and wipe onto aluminum square. Form to shape, wrap, and put in freezer.

In fifteen minutes they can be cut into smaller pieces (for neater eating) after a 5 minute thaw, and then refrozen. Serve frozen to reduce gooeyness. The reason I chose coconut was that, though highly saturated, it is very healthy since it removes other saturated fat deposits from your system, while creating no deposits of its own, or so rumor has it. Almond oil might be another choice, maybe with some peanut only peanut butter or almond butter (like 1/8 cup). Too much peanut can overshadow the chocolate and impair consistency. Sesame tahini is another flavor that can be added, but more than two tablespoons becomes detectable,which is not good. It adds a special smokey richness, if you use the roasted variety, like "Joyva". I guess the unroasted variety could be used in greater proportion, since it's much less flavorful; experiment.

Makes ten bars.
